I bought this CD because my extensive Prince CD collection was stolen out of my car and needed to replace them at a reasonable cost. Diamonds & Pearls is a very good CD. The classics "Cream," "Diamonds & Pearls," and "Gett Off" are present. Other gems include "Willing & Able," "Strollin," "Money Don't Matter 2 Night." The other songs are very good, but are just a little bit below the songs just mentioned. Prince has fun no matter what he does and this is proven in songs like "Daddy Pop" and "Push." It's interesting how the CD starts and ends with the two powerfully lyrical, though somewhat musically indulgent, songs of "Thunder" and "Live 4 Love."

Diamonds & Pearls, by Prince and the New Power Generation
Review created: 11/05/02

Pros: Great choices in singles put Prince back on the charts
Cons: The songs that weren't singles weren't singles for a reason
You ever have that friend who's single for a long time, and then they finally get with someone and they become someone totally different from the person you've known so long? They're still you're friend, when you're alone with them it's still the same old jokes and stuff, but when they're significant other is around, they're just . . . different, almost going out of their way to show you how they've "grown" and all the new things they can do, apparently because of this new influence in their life. You know that person? That's what this record is. For a long time, Prince was putting out great..

Get a little funky with Prince
Review created: 03/08/01
by: Monnie1976-- a member of Epinions and Top Reviewer in Music
Pros: Diverse styles of music, great production, fun and naughty
Cons: Some dated sounds
Prince is truly one of the most created and individual artists to have altered the landscape of music. Ranging from funky to refined, cultured to crude and brilliant to perverse, this artist plays the spectrum. Diamonds and Pearls is an uneven, but enjoyable foray into his distinct style. Featuring some hot singles like "Get Off" and "Cream", this album was a commercial success and introduced him to yet another cohort of teens and continued to satisfy long time fans. The album opens with urban harmony on the eclectic "Thunder". Thunder combines old school Prince with his interesting touches...

Prince's Glittering Jewels
Review created: 03/29/05

Pros: good start to collection of 90s Prince records
Cons: don't expect TOO much from the treasure chest
Welcome to 1991. What is your plan of attack? Surely you must hold some light and offering to your first effort: New Power Generation, released in 1990. The Revolution is out, the New Power Generation or lovingly referred to as the N.P.G., is in! This is the year when Prince had his last (unfortunate) number one jam: Cream and we were introduced to the heavily soulful Rosie Gaines, no pun intended. Aside, Diamonds and Pearls was his fifth album, debuting at number 1 on the Billboard charts and collecting a new flock of teenage fans and faith again in older fans. Indeed, it was a hot summer in.
